Forecasts

Tangental (3/1), Womalko (10/3), He Fitz In (4/1), Don't Talk (9/1), Politicise (10/1), Soldier Of Honour (10/1), Joy Of Life (11/1), Hunt Museum (18/1), Dinoland (22/1), Thegoaheadman (28/1), Legacy Of Dreams (33/1), Ivar The Boneless (40/1), Welsh Saint (40/1), Subset (40/1), Jimli's Island (66/1), Land Jet (80/1)

TANGENTAL offered more over fences at Navan when last seen 3 months ago and could be the way to go in a thin handicap. Hunt Museum is interesting now handicapping for his top owner, while Limerick-winner He Fitz In can go well again.
